    Wikimedia commons, Flicker Creative Commons--just a couple of ideas. Plus, you can take your own photos!

      Be sure to only use the ones licensed for commercial use. You can specify that in the filter and attribute them!. smile

    Do a search on hubpages...there are dozens of posts and hubs telling you where you can find free photos.

    I highly recommend the search engine at creative commons.  You can search for works with various creative commons licenses.  I generally use ones that are free to use for commercial work due to my ads.  i don't care so much about share alike and attribution as I am happy to do those things.  Creative Commons has explanations of all of the license types. 

    http://creativecommons.org/

    Choose a license will explain the license types.  Explore has the search engine stuff.

    Another good site is open clip art. 

    http://openclipart.org/

    Hubpages help files has a very useful page on using images and will tell you how to site the sources.

    http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/legal-image-use

    I reference that page a lot.  it also talks about creative commons some more.

    This article from the learning center has a list at the end of places to get pictures. It also gives details on how to cite them properly, which is just as important has having a good picture. http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/legal-image-use
